Ok...this has never come up before...for obvious reasons...but here goes...before getting into TT hobbies I was a model railroader...if you want something that is both durable AND light weight for transport or storage purposes...the best stuff to use is MFD, also known as hard board...cut the board in half so you get two 4'X4' sections...ON THE SMOOTH SIDE apply a hinge, best is to use a piano hinge (one of those long strap hinges) watch how you attach the hinge as one side of it is totally flat while the other actually has the hinge rod elevated...then on the rough side...which is now your interior face when the two halves are closed up...apply a liberal amount of white glue and sand and let it dry flat and open (of course) don't dilute the glue with water...water + wood = big mess (or boat hull)...MFD is very hard to warp so no worries about the glue drawing it up or cupping the material...next is to paint the sand once it has dried and voila!...instant table...it can be placed just about anywhere and when not in use, can be folded flat and stored under a standard bed or behind a couch...the rest of it is personal choice but I customized one to have a carrying handle and a set of folding legs...it all depends on your imagination...I would suggest looking over some of the old project articles in WD and checking around to see what kind of design you are going for...is it peramanent or something that will be moved from place to place?...it's all down to your imagintaion...just be sure you make a check list so you know you have all your materials together before you get started...PLANNING IS EVERYTHING for projects like this...
Good luck Brah
